In May 2017, a workshop about customization of biodiversity portals based on the Atlas of Living Australia code is planned to be held in Stockholm. This workshop is co-arranged with the 9th European GBIF Node meeting.1 see European GBIF Node meeting announcement
The workshop is planned to cover some topics related to DevOps of biodiversity portals based on Atlas of Living Australia code. Currently proposed topics include subjects related to using Docker, to automate builds and releases and also how to integrate external services and how to customize existing Atlas components with language translations and other national customizations:
Docker Fundamentals
Building and Releasing using Continuous Integration processes (using make, git, travis and docker)
Adding “non-core” components to the system composition
Upgrading indvidual ALA components to new releases
Customizing ALA components and packaging using Docker - experiences from BioAtlas.se in Sweden.
Experiences from internationalization (I18N) and national customizations of ALA modules
Building a nationally customized taxonomic backbone based on the Atlas name indexing module
Tools for testing performance and scanning system components
Spatial Portal - recommended practices for setting up layers etc
Integrating Mirroreum - a web-based biodiversity analysis platform for reproducible research
Discussions - Overiew of Work in progress and Future Works
Participants are invited to collaborate in shaping the agenda.
